women's Work In California.

Correspondence New York Evening Post.
There are many women who have been teach
ers for years. and who have saved small sums of
money, not enough to make them independent
of work, but who wish to change their occupa-
ton. heard one who had been teaching twenty
years say that she was willing to teach until
she was seventy, but she did not wish to teach
until she was eighty years old. Many of these
have bought land. some small quantity as
ten acres. and find the cultivation of those acres
far pieasanter and more remunerative than teach
ing. Much of the work such place can be
done by the owner. She can pick, pack make
raisins crystalline, and can or dry thatwhi may
not be sold fresh and make jelles and marina
lade. Nothing il the way OF sweetmeats can be
delicate than an apricot or fig crystallized,
and they, as we'll as jellies, jams and marina
lade can be sent all over the world.
